Key Highlights

The first National Tourism Fair of Costa Rica, aimed at encouraging domestic tourism, was held in San José in November 2013. Around 45 domestic companies participated in the event, including tour operators, theme park agents, car rental companies, hosting companies, and rural tourism operators. Domestic tourism packages and destinations were promoted, increasing the competitiveness and quality of services offered.

The government is also expanding Juan Santamaría International Airport at a cost of US$18 million by building two additional boarding gates to help accommodate an additional 260,000 passengers annually. The airport will also be remodeled with the construction of a hangar and other auxiliary facilities at a cost of US$34 million. These activities began in November 2013. The hangar will be located 150m from the runway and will have the capacity to house six Boeing 757-300 planes.

Investment in Costa Rica’s hospitality industry is increasing at a healthy pace. For example, Starwood Hotels & Resorts announced the opening of its Sheraton San José hotel with 172 rooms in July 2013, and Hyatt Hotels opened a five-star property, the Andaz Peninsula Papagayo, in Guanacaste with 127 rooms in December 2013.

UK-based car rental company Green Motion announced the sale of its franchise in Costa Rica in August 2013. The franchise will be run by Toyota Rent a Car. Green Motion Costa Rica will offer vehicle rentals from eight locations, including Alajuela International Airport and Liberia International Airport.

According to the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness 2013 report, the country’s lack of cultural sites weakens its competitiveness in terms of attracting international tourists. However, tour operators have started to create cultural tour packages based on modern Tico culture. Tour operators are also focusing on chocolate and coffee tours, and cookery classes.

Related Market Research Reports

The BMI US tourism report highlights our positive view of the industry, which is benefiting from a growing domestic economy in addition to a well-developed hotel sector. We expect tourist arrivals to reach 63.95mn in 2015, up by 2.4% on the 2014 figure.

The US tourist industry is forecast to perform well in 2015, with overall economic growth of 2.9% leading to a corresponding growth in departures and industry value. While we note that arrivals from Europe will remain sluggish over the forecast period, due to a subdued economic outlook in these countries, we expect arrivals from Latin America and particularly Mexico to continue to grow strongly over the medium term (2015-2019) on the back of economic growth.

The Namibian tourism industry is still developing and has an endowment of natural beauty and attractions that will require conservation in the future. The continuing improvement of economic conditions in key source markets such Zambia and Germany will help the tourism industry to grow somewhat in the coming years; however, it will always be constrained unless there is a large investment in infrastructure in the country. Additionally, high levels of poverty and Aids, and a rising level of crime against tourists in Windhoek may all prove a deterrent to potential visitors.

Qatar is set to see a steady rise in inbound tourism throughout our forecast period as the country focuses on increasing international inbound travel as well as promoting green tourism. Investment will increase as the country prepares to host the FIFA World Cup in 2022 and this benefit will be felt throughout the country and increase the overall value of the hotel industry.

We believe that over the short term, Greece's tourism industry will suffer from the political uncertainty, as potential risks of domestic unrest deter visitors. Moreover, the continued economic pressures and high unemployment will constrain domestic tourism and outbound tourist departures considerably. That said, should Greece exit the EU we would anticipate a surge in tourism numbers as the probable return to the drachma would make holidays in Greece attractively cheap. Finally, towards the end of 2015 and in the first part of 2016, we expect that the passing on of lower fuel prices to consumers by airlines will boost the wider tourism flows across Europe, and Greece could be a key beneficiary of this trend.

The Germany tourism report examines a range of key market indicators in this established and popular tourist destination in the heart of Western Europe. Benefiting from an extremely well-developed transport network, including a wide range of regional road and rail connections, as well as a mature hotel and accommodation sector, Germany is well placed to keep up with healthy and consistent increases in tourist arrivals throughout the forecast period to 2019.

China's tourism market is exceptionally strong, benefiting from one of the largest potential outbound travel sectors in the world. Both inbound arrivals and outbound departures are expected to increase steadily throughout our forecast period to 2019, and the country continues to attract a range of foreign investors keen to take advantage of the high growth potential in the tourism industry. As a result, we expect to see healthy growth across all of our key market indicators including industry value and tourism related expenditure.

Australia's tourism sector continued to perform well in 2014, with positive growth across inbound and domestic categories. High expenditure of AUD30.9 billion (US$28 billion) by international visitors in 2014, and AUD77.6 billion (US$70.5 billion) by domestic travelers places the Australian tourism sector in a strong position to achieve the 2020 target of AUD115 billion (US$104.4 billion) in overnight expenditure. The growth was largely driven by a strong increase in tourists from Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, and Indonesia which grew by 22.4%, 10.7%, 13.8%, 8%, and 13.8%, respectively. This signals that Australia's tourism board is moving in the right direction as it outlines in Tourism 2020 plan to expand inflows and expenditure from key Asian markets.
